We have been shouting it from the rooftops since Bulletin Bag started in 2008: Ditching single-use plastic bags can make a huge impact on our environment. Choosing to use (or produce!) custom reusable grocery bags can help your recipients take the first step! Here’s why it’s still such a great idea:
1. Reduce Plastic Waste
Plastic bags take up to 1,000 years to decompose. Every reusable bag used theoretically removes one bag from a landfill. You can do the math from there!
2. Save Money Over Time
Many businesses charge for plastic (and paper!) bags. Using the custom reusable bag your recipient gets from you will save them money–which adds up fast!
3. Stronger and More Durable
Reusable bags are sturdier and more durable, so you can carry more and not worry about the bags ripping open and dumping your load all over the parking lot. Hey, we’ve all been there!
4. Better for the Environment
Using fewer plastic bags means less pollution in oceans, rivers, and wildlife habitats. Also see #1!
5. Stylish and Customizable
Available in all kinds of colors, patterns, and materials—we have custom reusable bags for every unique organization’s style! And whomever gets your bag will show off YOUR messaging (and style!) while helping the planet.
6. Easy to Clean
Many reusable bags are machine washable or easy to wipe down. Wondering how? Check out our handy-dandy guide here!
7. Multi-Purpose Use
They’re not just for groceries anymore—people use reusable bags for picnics, beach days, gym gear, or as everyday totes (if you plan your design right!). If you choose retail branded (or retail inspired) styles, your messaging will go even further!
8. Support Companies that Care
Buying custom reusable bags from companies that value safety and responsible labor practices makes everyone feel good. Hey, that’s us! Read more about that here!
9. Compact and Convenient
We offer a large assortment of reusable bags fold down into small pouches, perfect for keeping in your car, backpack, or purse for unexpected errands. So convenient!
10. Set a Positive Example
Using reusable bags shows your friends, family, and colleagues that you care about the environment.
✅ Bonus Tip: Keep a few bags in your car or near where you keep your car keys so you don’t forget them on shopping trips!
